New Sermon Series - Letting Go, Letting God
Letting Go and Letting God is about engaging our lives from the place of our worthiness in Jesus. The Holy Spirit cultivates courage, compassion and connection through the reality that we "are enough" in our identity as fully loved and forgiven people!
We are worthy of love. God says so. God makes it so. Our fallen nature lies and deceives us into living in guilt and despair rather than what we are as dearly loved, fully forgiven and completely restored people of God. We are worthy because God says so. We are worthy because God has adopted us as His children. The Holy Spirit equips us to live with passion and joy. Join us for this Scripture-driven, highly practical sermon series beginning
August 21.
